Electronic Paper Displays vs. LCD Displays

Flexible

E Ink displays are flexible and becoming more so every year. Flexibility doesn't mean you'll be able to roll up the screens and stuff them in your backpack, but it is key to making displays with larger screens light enough to hold it conveniently in one hand.†

Flexible doesn't mean the display is floppy, it refers to its lightweight, shatterproof or rugged characteristics.
